Hi Dark.
I'd also add Lindsay that there's nothing like a good Interactive Fiction
title for puzzle solving and also a great story. The Interactive Fiction
Archive is the place to go for all things textual, there are lots of good
games out there and if you want, I can send you my Infocom archive which has
not only 30 of the most commercially successful text adventures of all time,
but all the feelies so you can really lose yourself in the stories and the
universes of the authors imagination.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Lindsay.
If you go to www.audiogames.net and search in the arcade catagory, you will
find many blow up everything type of games. Virtualy everything space
invaders, plus the esp pinball games, not to mention any of the side
scrollers like superliam or q9.
to be honest though, I'd personally not recommend playing fast paced action
games as a cure for depression, since having personally had depression in
the past, what I found myself is that my reactions and engagement with a
fast action game were not up to what they should be, then I'd fail at a
normally easy task and get irritated with myself.
Personally for games as helping with depression I always found very ceribral
puzzles or none confrontational resource management games perfect, ----
indeed I once played smugglers 3 for nearly 36 hours straight since while I
was contemplating the prices of transporting 100 robots to finis system or
100 diamonds to sirius that was all! I thought about.
Same goes for card games too, particularly the very strategical ones like
hearts, spades or whist. Sudoku and other spacial puzzles might work too,
not to mention chess or backgammon.
generally anything that requires a lot of calm, rational thinking without
any confrontational elements or things such as time limits.
That was what I found myself anyway.
Hth.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Does anyone know of any fast paced games, where you slaughter everything
in sight. I suffer from depression, and I thought they might help.
Keyboard based, if possible.
